EARLY GUIDANCE – GRADE 9
A year-long process, during which we work with you on a flexible, four-year roadmap, including expert advice on course selection, activities, and summer plans.  We develop an action plan, including recommendations for coursework and testing, and begin work on an activity sheet.  Uncover interests and unlock your full potential on the path to creating a unique and cohesive story.  

EARLY GUIDANCE – GRADE 10
For students who have already undertaken our grade 9 Early Guidance, or who prefer to begin with a three-year plan.  We clarify and make recommendations as course selection choices increase in complexity, activity exploration is refined, and summer plans take on importance. We develop an admissions process action plan, including testing and campus visits, and work on the activity sheet, unique to you.  You will uncover interests and strengths, and begin to develop a compelling story.  

GRADE 11 GUIDANCE
We support you as the college admissions process intensifies.  We review course selections, uncover broader strengths in activities, and advise on formative summer plans.  We develop an admissions process action plan, including testing and additional campus visits, and work with you on the activity sheet, unique to you.  You will develop and later refine a compelling story, which will be the foundation for your college application.  

GRADE 12 GUIDANCE
We create an action plan, with specific due dates for key components, including testing and application deadlines.  We support you in requesting recommendations, finalizing the activity sheet, reviewing the target college application list and transcript, deciding which application decision plans to pursue, selecting test scores, and developing a strategy for continued communication with target colleges. At admissions time, we assist with evaluation of offers, wait list strategies, and notification of non-selected colleges. 

COMMON APPLICATION or UCAS APPLY ONLY
We assist you with the intricacies of the Common Application or UCAS.  Give yourself the confidence of knowing that academic and personal accomplishments are best reflected, within the tight word and character limits. Review of Personal Statement, Common App Essay and college-specific Supplemental Essays not included, but can be added at an hourly rate.

COMPLETE APPLICATION REVIEW
Are you ready to press “submit?” We will raise the red flag if anything is missing from your student’s online application, review essays, and make specific suggestions for improvement.

COLLEGE READINESS EVALUATION
We get to know you and begin to frame you from the perspective of a college admissions officer.  We create a customized evaluation of your college readiness, taking into account transcripts, test scores (if any), activities, academic interests and personal goals.  Discover where you are in the process and what lies ahead.
